8. Definitions of m-learning
“… e-learning through mobile computational devices.” (Quinn, 2002) “… any sort of learning that happens when the learner is not at a fixed, predetermined location, or learning that happens when the learner takes advantage of the learning opportunities offered by mobile technologies.” (O’Malley et al., 2003)

10. Seamless Learning Ubiquitous learning
Continuity of the learning experiences across
different contexts/spaces (Chan et al., 2006)
Formal + informal
Individual + social
Physical + digital …
Mediated by: 1:1, 24x7 access to mobile devices

11. Why mobile learning?
M-learning is NOT just about easy access of resources.
Chan, Roschelle, Hsi, Kunshuk, Sharples, Brown, et al. (2006)
Portability
Social interactivity
Individuality
Context sensitivity
Connectivity
Bridging physical & digital worlds

1st gen: transfer of information
2nd gen: instructional design-centric
3rd gen: 1:1 & context-aware

20. Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

29. ‘Learning’ Should be
Humans are intrinsic sense makers, looking to organise new information so as to find meanings, significance, or patterns in it …
Apart from the formal curriculum, any experience or encounter in a learner’s daily life is a potential source for sense making (or learning). (Wong & Looi, 2011)
